Ichinose Screen Making System - Complete Solution for High-Quality Screen Preparation

Ichinose Screen Making Machines - Complete Screen Preparation System

The Ichinose Screen Making System is a complete solution for preparing high-quality screens for flat screen printing machines. This integrated system includes 4 essential machines - Stretching, Coating, Exposure, and Developing - designed to produce screens with precise tension, uniform emulsion coating, accurate exposure, and clean development. Perfect for textile printing facilities requiring consistent screen quality and long screen life.

Complete Screen Making Process

Screen making is a critical process that directly affects printing quality. Ichinose provides 4 specialized machines that cover the entire screen preparation workflow, ensuring professional results at every stage.

1️⃣ Screen Stretching Machine - Precise Mesh Tensioning

The first and most critical step in screen making. The Stretching Machine ensures uniform and precise mesh tension across the entire screen frame, which is essential for accurate pattern registration and consistent print quality.

• High-precision tensioning system - Achieves uniform tension (20-30 N/cm²) across entire mesh
• Hydraulic or pneumatic clamping - Secure grip without damaging mesh
• Digital tension measurement - Real-time monitoring with tension meter
• Compatible with various frame sizes - From small to large format screens
• Glue application system - For permanent mesh-to-frame bonding

Key Benefits: Prevents pattern distortion, ensures consistent squeegee pressure, extends screen life, and reduces registration issues during printing.

2️⃣ Screen Coating Machine - Uniform Emulsion Application

The Coating Machine applies photosensitive emulsion evenly across the mesh surface. Uniform coating thickness is critical for sharp image reproduction and consistent paste deposition during printing.

• Precision coating trough - Stainless steel with polished edge for smooth application
• Adjustable coating angle - Optimizes emulsion thickness (typically 10-25 microns)
• Variable speed control - Consistent coating speed for uniform results
• Dark room compatible - Safe for photosensitive emulsion handling
• Easy cleaning system - Quick trough change and cleaning

Key Benefits: Eliminates coating streaks, ensures consistent emulsion thickness, improves exposure accuracy, and reduces pinholes in final screen.

3️⃣ Screen Exposure Machine - Accurate Pattern Transfer

The Exposure Machine transfers the design pattern from film to screen using UV light exposure. Precise exposure control ensures sharp image edges and proper emulsion hardening for long screen life.

• High-intensity UV light source - Metal halide or LED for consistent exposure
• Digital exposure timer - Precise control (1-999 seconds)
• Vacuum exposure frame - Ensures tight film-to-screen contact
• Uniform light distribution - No hot spots or underexposed areas
• Memory function - Store exposure settings for different emulsion types

Key Benefits: Sharp pattern edges, no under/over exposure, consistent results across multiple screens, and extended screen durability.

4️⃣ Screen Developing Machine - Clean Image Development

The Developing Machine washes out unexposed emulsion to reveal the final pattern. Controlled water pressure and temperature ensure clean open areas without damaging the hardened emulsion.

• Adjustable water pressure - From gentle spray to high-pressure rinse
• Temperature control - Optimal water temperature for emulsion type
• Rotating spray arms - 360° coverage for thorough development
• Drainage system - Efficient water removal and collection
• LED inspection lighting - Clear visibility for quality check

Key Benefits: Clean mesh openings, no emulsion residue, sharp pattern definition, and minimal screen damage during development.
